Bokkieteam 1 - 2 Conoco (390285226)

Fairly good weather for football had drawn a crowd of 33596 to bokkie plaza. Nicolas Kleinen was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Röbi Wunderlich and Dolf Valkhof. A 3-5-2 alignment was the formation of choice for Bokkieteam. The following players had been chosen: Sugár - Saville, Landesman, Nuşin - Trujillo, Saburkinas, Jumpponen, Duram, Levesque - Laurinskis, Gagula.

Conoco started off with a 3-5-2 lineup. Starters: Stout-Frühwirth - Winckelmann, Rupiţă, Decourcelle - Burgard, Prishtina, Ostolaza, Crochemore, Smulders - Spagnolli, Zimliauskas.

Conoco used their ability to concentrate their attacks in the middle of the pitch, rather than on the wings. The visitors' central defence should have had no trouble clearing the pass to G. Gagula, but the Bokkieteam player managed to shrug them off and fired a low shot past the keeper to give his team the lead. 1 - 0! R. Saburkinas could have increased the lead after 22 minutes, but his shot hit the post after a nice combination in the middle of the park. A corner kick created great disorder in the penalty area with a goal nearly scored by T. Burgard. At last, Conoco's B. Crochemore was able to backheel the ball in. 1 - 1. Bokkieteam's R. Saburkinas left the field after 34 minutes because of a nasty blow to the shin. His replacement was S. Schindel. It was 1 - 1 at the break. Conoco enjoyed most of the ball, as they maintained 53 percent of possession.

With 50 minutes gone, Bokkieteam had a free kick in a decent position. Despite this being a great chance for a shot, they tried a cheeky move intended to bypass the defence. However, G. Gagula did not manage to connect with it cleanly and the ball went out. Conoco's G. Rupiţă's long shot really ought to have found the net 56 minutes into the match, but it fell just wide of the target. Conoco's B. Decourcelle managed to lose the defenders as he advanced down the right wing and scored, putting the visitors ahead after 63 minutes. 1 - 2. Conoco's J. Ostolaza had to watch the rest of the game from the sidelines, after twisting his ankle with 64 minutes having been played. J. Buddingh was the replacement. Conoco came close to extending their lead as V. Zimliauskas delivered a low effort on goal from the right after 66 minutes, but the angle was too narrow and the shot went harmlessly into the side netting. Conoco's G. Rupiţă was shown a yellow card after 79 minutes for slicing down an opponent. Bokkieteam's P. Laurinskis made an attempt at equalising 80 minutes into the match, coming in from the right, but the ball hit the post and the defence easily cleared the rebound. Conoco's B. Decourcelle got himself booked for a foul. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Conoco, with 53 percent of the ball.

Bokkieteam's best player was C. Nuşin. On the other hand, W. Trujillo's play was disheartening. Most important Conoco player was D. Spagnolli. However, S. Smulders made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 1 - 2.
